Can I test if multiple sprites are tapped at the same time?

Is there any way to check if 2 or 3 sprites are touched( or tapped) at the same time?

the problem with "on touch start"/ "is in touch" combination is that a player could just leave his fingers on the screen. I need the player to tap one set of sprites, lift his hand, then tap a second set of sprites. If the player leaves his hand on the screen I want it not to register as in touch.

I am not understanding properly what you have said

but if you want to touch 3 object at same time then you can do

clicked on button 1 > do thing with object 1, do thing with object 2, do thing with object 3

clicked on button 2 > do thing with object 1, do thing with object 2, do thing with object 3

clicked on button 3 > do thing with object 1, do thing with object 2, do thing with object 3

by doing this

if you click any of 3 buttons

the same process will be done

thanks for your response, I was trying to get it only to work when all the taps occurred simultaneously.

I managed to get it working now though.
